She wanted mixology trends. She got a spirit with a cognac obsession.
Welcome to Lauren & Hardy, a fictional comedy podcast that follows Lauren Duplessis, a struggling mixologist and Brooklyn-based podcaster, who accidentally teams up with a very enthusiastic (and possibly undead) 19th-century British gentleman: Anthony Hardy, founder of the historic Maison Hardy Cognac.
Together, they dive into the wild, weird, and surprisingly dramatic world of cognac history, French terroir, family legacies, and legendary spirits—all told through witty banter and a soundscape so rich you can practically smell the oak barrels.
From medieval nightmares and phylloxera plagues to secret cellars and Suffragette cocktails, Lauren & Hardy blends humor, history, heritage, and high-proof storytelling in a bold and flavorful audio experience.
Expect:
Whether you’re a cognac lover, a history enthusiast, or just here for the laughs, Lauren & Hardy invites you to listen and enjoy your way through a spirited odyssey unlike any other. New episodes weekly. Honestly, history never tasted this good.

🎨 From crystal decanters to couture tiaras—yes, really.
Anthony visits MoMA, freaks out about contemporary art, and rediscovers the artistic legacy of Hardy’s decanter collections. Lauren guides him through Hardy’s most iconic collaborations with Daum and Lalique, while Tom invents a new element called “Bluffy.” Expect MET Gala chaos, high-concept wine bottles, and a museum gift shop that goes way too hard.
It’s cognac as art, bottle as fashion—and heritage as haute couture.
Join us for something elegant, and let your ears tour the gallery.
